Mel B is returning to the judges’ table for the landmark 20th season of America’s Got Talent, which begins May 27 on NBC. But if she’s in, who’s out?

The former Spice Girl will be sitting alongside Simon Cowell (his 10th season), Howie Mandel (his 16th season), and Sofia Vergara (her sixth season), which means Heidi Klum is stepping down … at least for now. Klum previously took a break in Season 14, but she returned the following year. It’s likely that Klum’s duties as the returning host of Project Runway are responsible for her missing this installment of AGT.

Terry Crews is also back as the host of America’s Got Talent for the seventh consecutive cycle.

“It is absolutely brilliant to be able to announce this year as our 20th season,” said Cowell, who also serves as executive producer. “Over the years, we have seen some amazing acts...

Though one could argue that the Disney+ Ms. Marvel series did suffer a dip in quality as it went on, many fans considered Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan to be one of the more compelling new characters to be introduced to the MCU post Infinity Saga, and it sounds like Marvel Studios has major plans for young hero going forward.

Towards the end of The Marvels, Khan channels her inner Nick Fury when she recruits Hawkeye's Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) to the Young Avengers (whether that'll be the team's name remains to be seen), possibly suggesting that Ms. Marvel will find herself in a leadership position once full roster is assembled.

While speaking to THR about the third season of What If...?, Head of Marvel Television and Animation Brad Winderbaum indicated that Khan is going to be integral to the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"I love Iman.

It looks like Marvel’s plans for a Young Avengers project may be changing into a bold new series!

For a while, it’s been clear the MCU is making plans for what amounts to a Young Avengers movie. The big push was one of the stingers for The Marvels, where Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) met Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) and proposed they put together a team, which included reaching out to Cassie Lang (Kathryn Newton).

The MCU also has Ironheart and Agatha All Along confirm the identity of the Scarlet Witch’s son, Wiccan, who’s looking for his missing twin brother. That all appears as the lead-in for a Young Avengers movie.

However, noted Marvel insider Daniel Richtman (whose past scoops on the franchise have been proven true) is reporting a shift for the project. Rather than a Young Avengers movie, it appears Marvel wants to make it...

The 1960s were an incredible time for spy TV shows and were the inception point for several popular series. As many of the best spy shows from this era have been revived or rebooted on the big screen, its worth revisiting the source material and seeing just how many astounding stories of covert espionage or undercover government work there are to discover. From trailblazing television shows that have left a lasting impact on the genre to cult favorites that have stood the test of time, many 1960s series are worth modern viewers' attention.

While many of the best spy movies from the 1960s are well-known to modern viewers, the same cannot be said about TV shows from this time. This does a real disservice to just how engaging and entertaining the best spy shows from this period were, and fans of espionage series would be doing themselves a favor if...

Since 1997, Days of Our Lives’ resident mad scientist, Dr. Wilhelm Rolf, has been on hand to resurrect the dead, brainwash Salemites, and more. Originally played by William Utay, the part was later recast in 2022 with Richard Wharton as the devious doctor. If either iteration of the demented scientist seems familiar, that’s probably because he resembles a character actor who starred in several horror classics.

A Puppet Master Like Dr. Rolf

Guy Rolfe was a British actor who appeared in films since 1937 and starred in several classics, including Ivanhoe (1952), The Barbarians (1960), and King of Kings (1961). But it was his role as the title character in William Castle’s Mr. Sardonicus in 1961 that made horror fans take notice. In the film, he played a man whose face froze in a creepy and disturbing grin.

He appeared in several subsequent TV shows, including The Champions (1968), which starred General Hospital’s Stuart Damon...

Ms. Marvel star Iman Vellani would have Kamala Khan fighting alongside Miles Morales, Nova, and Tom Holland's Spider-Man if she was allowed to expand her ideal MCU crossover team-ups.

Iman Vellani almost teased the full lineup of Young Avengers short of dropping new names in an interview with The Direct. "I don't know what the rules are for scenes that were cut, like, am I still supposed to keep those secrets?" she expressed. "I'll say, whatever names you can guess are probably right. Like, there's not that many young people in the MCU right now." She revealed she was also open to fantasy team-ups, though, and would like to join forces with superheroes outside the obvious picks if she had her way. Since anything can happen in the Multiverse, a crossover movie with Tom Holland's Spider-Man doesn't seem so far-fetched.

For the first time ever, “America’s Got Talent” is letting the judges get in on the action with its highly anticipated spin-off series titled “AGT Fantasy League.” Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B will draft a roster of returning all-star acts and will compete against each other throughout the season, which begins Monday, January 1 on NBC. Get to know all of the 40 acts below, including winners, finalists, viral sensations and fan favorites from “Got Talent” franchises all around the world.

“America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League” marks the fourth overall “AGT” spin-off after “All Stars,” “Champions” and “Extreme,” but this is the first iteration that lets the judges also participate. In fact, you can think of them more like the coaches you see on NBC’s sister reality TV show “The Voice.” Terry Crews has been slated to once again return for hosting duties.

Exclusive: Golden Globe winner Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Cesar nominee Lucie Zhang are set to star in Jenny Suen’s English language feature debut Peaches, which Coco Francini (Fingernails) will produce and Oscar winner Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton will executive-produce for Dirty Films.

Set in contemporary Hong Kong, the movie will follow two spoiled best friends who scam sugar daddies for a living. When they discover a Hermes Birkin bag they were gifted is a fake, their “boyfriends” and crimes catch up with them.

The film is an adaptation of Vera Chitylova’s 1966 Czech New Wave comedy Daisies.

Paris-based MK2 Films, whose slate includes Cannes Palme d’Or winner Anatomy of a Fall and Cannes Un Certain Regard winner How to Have Sex, is handling international sales and discussed the project with buyers at last week’s AFM. The film will start production early next year in Hong Kong.

The Season 18 finale of “America’s Got Talent” is just hours away, with NBC set to air the two-hour event from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 27. All summer long, Gold Derby readers have been making their predictions for who they think will win the $1 million grand prize, and it’s currently neck-and-neck between Murmuration and Putri Ariani. Do You agree or disagree with our users’ forecasts?

Murmuration, the synchronized dance group from France, earned Howie Mandel‘s Golden Buzzer in the auditions and instantly became a fan-favorite. Many viewers have compared the 65-member precision group to The Mayyas, the Lebanese dancers who won last season’s competition. (Heads up: The Mayyas will return to the show to perform during the Wednesday finale.)

NBC has announced that last year’s winner of “America’s Got Talent,” The Mayyas, will return to the reality TV show that made them a household name during Wednesday night’s Season 18 finale. The Lebanese dance group will deliver a special performance on the live show, and so will all of these Hollywood A-listers: chef and TV personality Cat Cora, award-winning songwriter Diane Warren, pop and R&b icon Jason Derulo, award-winning musician Jon Batiste and multi-platinum-selling band Thirty Seconds to Mars.

The two-night “AGT” finale will air on Tuesday, September 26 (performance show) and Wednesday, September 27 (results show). This is when the road to the $1 million grand prize finally wraps up. The winner will also be given the chance to join the “America’s Got Talent Presents Superstars Live” at Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

NBC’s 2023 fall lineup will include two new dramas and one new comedy, as well as new seasons of The Voice, Night Court, and Quantum Leap. The three Chicago shows – Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. – return to their Wednesday night time slots, and Law & Order and Law & Order: Svu are back with new seasons on Thursday nights.

The network hasn’t made any decisions on the status of American Auto, Grand Crew, and Young Rock, but did confirm new unscripted series Deal or No Deal Island and Untitled America’s Got Talent Series will premiere midseason. And Oscar winner Tom Hanks narrates the 10-part The Americas event series launching next spring.

New seasons of Law & Order: Organized Crime, La Brea, Magnum P.I., and Lopez vs. Lopez will join the primetime lineup midseason.

As we near the conclusion of the first phase of the “America’s Got Talent: All-Stars” competition, there’s one question on our mind: What do the superfans have against singers? Out of the 40 acts to perform in the first round so far, a quarter of them can be considered vocal talents, but only chorale group Detroit Youth Choir has advanced, and that was thanks to a Golden Buzzer from Terry Crews. The nine other singers failed to earn enough votes from the superfans and were eliminated, but why?

Among the singing acts eliminated so far are former Golden Buzzer acts Cristina Rae and Sara James as well as champions of “Canada’s Got Talent” and “Dominica’s Got Talent” Jeanick Fournier and Keren Montero. Both Jeanick and Keren placed within the top three with the superfans on their respective episodes, as did Caly Bevier and Ndlovu Youth Choir. None of...

Riri Williams arrives in the MCU in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Her story carries over into the upcoming Ironheart Disney+ streaming series and probably beyond. Marvel Comics fans know Ironheart joined the revamped Champions team in 2016 alongside other iconic young superheroes in a likely preview of things to come in live-action.

Ironheart joined forces with new rising stars like Miles Morales and Ms. Marvel but The Champions' legacy goes back much further. The original team first appeared in the 1970s with a different roster but one that could still come into play in the MCU thanks to another recent screen debut in Hercules.

An Unusual Team

Most superhero teams in Marvel Comics come together around an organizing principle, like the X-Men or Fantastic Four. The original Champions mostly include characters who had been displaced from other books at the time. This includes Angel and Iceman, among the most powerful X-Men on the original team,...

Unsurprisingly, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is among the most anticipated movies in recent memory. Not only is it a sequel to one of the most culture-defining films of the past ten years, but questions remain about who exactly will play the title hero. But one of the more surprising points of interest involve a new addition to the MCU, Riri Williams aka Ironheart.

Williams first appeared in 2016’s Invincible Iron Man #7, written by Brian Michael Bendis and drawn by Mike Deodato, as a young genius inspired by Tony Stark. In the issues that followed, Williams reverse-engineered Stark’s Iron Man armor to deal with a threat, eventually earning her own suit. In her solo series and in the teen team-up book The Champions, Williams has continued to evolve the armor into something more sleek and personal, less beholden to Stark’s aesthetic.

“America’s Got Talent: Extreme” has paused production after an on-set accident, Variety has confirmed.

The accident occurred during a show rehearsal Thursday night and involved escape artist Jonathan Goodwin. According to TMZ, Goodwin was performing a stunt involving escaping from a straitjacket while suspended mid-air between two cars. But the feat went terribly wrong, and the cars reportedly crashed together with Goodwin caught in between. However, these details have not been confirmed.

A spokesperson for “America’s Got Talent” said in a statement to Variety that Goodwin is receiving care at a hospital and was still responsive after the accident.

“During a rehearsal last evening for ‘America’s Got Talent: Extreme,’ an accident occurred in which escape artist Jonathan Goodwin was injured while performing his act,” the spokesperson said in their statement. “He was responsive and was immediately taken to the hospital where he is continuing to receive medical care.

There have been two versions of The Champions in the main Marvel universe. The first was The Champions of Los Angeles, which was a team formed by X-Men founder Angel. However, the team now known as The Champions is very different. This is a team that replaced the Young Avengers as the premiere teenage superhero team in Marvel Comics.

Stuart Damon, who was best known for his role on “General Hospital,” has died. He was 84.

“He’d been struggling with renal failure for the last several years,” ABC7 reporter George Pennacchio confirmed in a Facebook post. “He was a kind, loving and friendly man. It’s something Christopher heard his entire life. It was my honor to know Stuart Damon. May this Prince R.I.P.”

Damon devoted over 30 years of his life to playing Dr. Alan Quartermaine on ABC’s “General Hospital” and spinoff “Port Charles.” With the role, he earned six Daytime Emmy nominations and won in 1999 — 22 years after joining the cast — for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series.

“General Hospital” star Stuart Damon has died at the age of 84, TheWrap has confirmed.

According to ABC7’s George Pennacchio, who first reported the news of Damon’s death, the actor had been “struggling with renal failure.”

Damon was known for starring on the ABC daytime soap as Dr. Alan Quartermaine for more than three decades, winning a best supporting actor trophy at the 1999 Daytime Emmys for his performance. Damon was a regular on the show from 1977 to 2007, when the character was killed off.

He reappeared on “General Hospital” several times throughout the subsequent years, most recently in 2013, and also appeared on the spinoff series “Port Charles.”

Ms. Marvel debuted in Marvel Comics in 2013 and quickly became one of the top heroes in the Marvel Universe. Alongside Miles Morales's Spider-Man, the two remain the faces of the teenage superheroes in The Champions, while both also appearing with The Avengers. However, there are not as many Ms. Marvel villains compared to other heroes.

Kamala Khan is a character that deals with her friends and social issues at school almost more than she does fighting supervillains. However, that does not mean that Ms. Marvel's villains are not specific to her character, both those with superpowers and those who have made her life difficult through the years.

Normally around this time, fans of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” would be glued to their televisions watching the latest season on NBC. Not this year. Due to several reasons, including the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, this reality TV competition that features acts from all over the world has no plans to air any time soon, Gold Derby has learned.

Unlike the flagship “America’s Got Talent” series, which recently conducted virtual auditions for the upcoming 16th season, there were never any plans for “The Champions” to be an annual event. By taking some time off, the worldwide franchise can now refresh as it continues making superstars across the globe. When “The Champions” eventually begins airing again in the future,...

Before “Shaolin Soccer”, there was “The Champions”. Yuen Biao, despite his athletic prowess, was always a support act for his Peking opera brothers Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung and never quite reached their level of stardom, despite earning a reputation as one of the most talented performers of his generation. This feature sees him front and centre with an opportunity to show off his talent. So is it a match winner or does it get a deserved red card?

The opening of the film is rather unusual, as we get football tricks against a white background. Lee Tong (Yuen Biao) is sent away by his father (Eddie Ko) after getting in trouble.

At the end of the day, being the best is about authenticity, letting your art speak for itself and above all else about entertaining. Scroll down to find out the names of the Top 10 “America’s Got Talent” most successful acts of all time.

Shin Lim – Close-up Magician

Self-taught, Shin’s season 13 win and subsequent victory on the first season of “The Champions” make him one of the most impressive and memorable contestants in series history. After his first win he headlined his own show at Paris Las Vegas and after his second win started a residency at the Terry Fator Theater at the Mirage.

“America’s Got Talent” continued the final phase of its unconventional season 15 on Tuesday with the third live performance show and Wednesday with the results of that show based on audience votes. In this quarter-finals round, which consists of four episodes, 11 acts per night will perform for the judges. On the August 25 live show, judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara were alone on the panel while Simon Cowell remained absent while recovering from surgery.

Of Tuesday’s 11 acts that performed, only five of them will advance to the next round, the semi-finals. Those 11 acts were: Simon’s Golden Buzzer act dance group W.A.F.F.L.E. Crew and Heidi’s Golden Buzzer act singer Cristina Rae, aerialist Alan Silva, dance crews Bone Breakers and Dance Town Family, drummer Malik Dope, magician Max Major, stand-up comedian Usama Siddiquee, and singers Annie Jones, Nolan Neals, and Sheldon Riley.

The winners list for “America’s Got Talent” already includes two magicians — Mat Franco (Season 9) and Shin Lim (Season 13) — but will the current 15th season add another to this elite group? During the upcoming Tuesday, June 23 episode of “Agt,” the judges meet a young card magician named Winston who wows them with his eye-popping tricks. As the 21-year-old from Venezuela explains, “This is a huge opportunity to show America my love to magic and I hope they will love it.” Watch the sneak peek video above.

Part interpretive dance, part horror show, Winston’s act consists of him calmly sitting in his chair as he’s bombarded with dozens of white playing cards. The more he throws the cards away or spits them out, the more they seem to take over his entire body — even his hair!

NBC’s long-running reality TV show “America’s Got Talent” is going through a major facelift for its upcoming 15th season, as Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara have replaced Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough. Klum of course is an old pro at judging “Agt” since she appeared in Seasons 8-13, plus spinoff series “Agt: The Champions.” (See the list of judges through the years.) However, Vergara is completely new to the game, having never judged a competition program before. “I think she’s gonna be really direct and sweet at the same time,” Klum predicts in NBC’s new teaser trailer (watch above).

One of the most successful contestants to ever come out of “America’s Got Talent,” opera singer Jackie Evancho, now age 20, made a return trip to the franchise during the 2019 spinoff series “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.” With “Agt” set to return this summer on NBC, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit Evancho’s most powerful performance on the reality TV stage. In the Season 1 finale of “The Champions,” the then-18-year-old gave us all goosebumps by singing Barbra Streisand‘s “Somewhere” while donning a blue ballgown (watch above).

Judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B and Heidi Klum were all speechless as they watched Evancho do her thing. Weeks earlier she had been eliminated in the first round of competition, but she still accepted their invitation to return in the finale’s results show for this non-competitive performance. Later that evening, close-up magician Shin Lim was named...

The finale of America's Got Talent: The Champions on NBC on Monday pulled in its best ratings since the season premiere, and also helped Manifest to its best viewer tally in six weeks. ABC's The Bachelor recorded a season high in viewers, and 911: Lone Star drew its biggest Monday audience so far on Fox.

America’s Got Talent’s finale for the second season of The Champions has arrived. On Monday night, 10 acts will perform for the final time. All they have to do is impress the Agt Superfans, and the panel of judges and they stand a good chance to go home with the grand prize. Last week, six more acts advanced, and they […]...

The superfans on “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” are a controversial bunch, and for good reason. At-home viewers are frustrated, maybe even a little jealous, that these delegates from all 50 states get to call the shots instead of them. (See how the voting process works.) Love ’em or hate ’em, the superfans are here to stay on “The Champions” as we approach the February 10 finale. But are they biased toward homegrown American acts, since they’re obviously already familiar with their stories? Or do the superfans deserve credit for voting for performers from all around the world? Let’s investigate.

Of the Top 50 acts from the first season, the superfans were only allowed to vote five of them into the finals. They were: close-up magician Shin Lim, comedian Preacher Lawson and singer Brian Justin Crum from “America’s Got Talent,” Cristina Ramos from...
